Beinn Dubh and Stoneymollan

Saturday's forecast showers with the wind dropping later on, set off for an afternoon run over some Luss hills. Lower slopes pretty clear of snow, not quite frozen, made for colder feet. Wind hadn't listened to the forecast and picked up a bit towards the top as a squall filled with icy snow blew through. Running the ridge to Mid Hill slow on the frozen lumpy snow, turned back for the second time in a week.The squall passed on the descent and nearly turned back encouraged by the scraps of blue sky overhead. Reached the bottom just as the next shower blew through. 5 miles, 2000' in just over 90 mins. Sunday a group run up Stoneymollan, along the ridge to the Fort then exit via quarry and behind Carman Reservoir, 7 miles, 1000', 90 mins.
